We need a better way to fund our schools

The Boyertown Area School Board and taxpayers need to take note of recent events involving failed plans that wasted taxpayer funds at the expense of our students.

Naturally, we all desire the best education for our youth and future leaders.

What need happen now is that a grade plan and curriculum be developed to accomplish the future successes of our youth given the present available physical accommodations.

If we had a fault with the proposed plans, it was that too many variables were going to be introduced upon the resulting construction that resulted being too costly for our tax base.

To recover from this costly mess, we need apply our “Pennsylvania Dutch Conservative Principles of Economics” and demand that everyone involved with our local educational system achieve successes in all areas of education. That may even mean a sacrifice here and there.

We have educated leaders able to make present facilities work toward academic achievements for our students.

Meanwhile, we need to support the efforts to remove property tax from real estate. There are better ways to fund our school systems.
